EAST ORANGE — A severely injured man found on a Garden State Parkway overpass a week ago remains in a coma at University Hospital, and police are asking for help identifying him.

Now that the swelling has gone down on the man’s face and head, police have provided a picture to help identify the man and find next of kin, even as he remains unconscious.

The white Hispanic male had severe head and face injuries when police found him on July 27, about 5:20 a.m., on the New Street pedestrian overpass over the Parkway, according to Di Elmo.

Police are not sure whether the man was beaten, or sustained injuries from a fall.

The man is believed to be in his 40s, and is about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds. He wore a gray shirt, blue pants and black sneakers when he was found. He was also wearing a white baseball cap with a blue bill emblazoned with the words “Advanced Parking Concepts” written in red lettering.

Paint splotches on his pants have police believing that he may be a painter or a contractor, but detectives have not turned up further information on him.

Police are asking people to look at the picture and contact them if they know the man, or know anything about the injuries he sustained. Detectives can be reached at (973) 266-5030, or the department’s anonymous tips line at (973) 266-5041.
